MUMBAI: Indian equity benchmark indices ended lower on Wednesday for the third straight session, weighed down by rising geopolitical tensions that kept investors cautious.

The Sensex closed at 81, 909.63, slipping 270.84 points or 0.33 per cent. Meanwhile, the Nifty settled at 25, 157.5, down 75 points or 0.3 per cent.

“A sustained break below 25, 130 could reopen downside toward 24, 920–24, 900, ” a market expert said.

“At this stage, price action reflects consolidation after exhaustion, not a confirmed trend reversal, with the index posting its fourth consecutive weak close, ” the analyst mentioned.
